The University of Notre Dame is among over 50 universities being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education for possible racial discrimination in their graduate programs. This is part of President Trump’s efforts to end diversity programs that allegedly exclude Asian American and white students. The investigations focus on whether the universities violated Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, by partnering with an organization called “The Ph.D. Project” which limits eligibility based on race. The Department of Education aims to ensure that all students are protected from illegal discrimination and must be assessed based on merit and accomplishment, not skin color. The University of Notre Dame and other institutions are being scrutinized for their involvement with The Ph.D. Project, which aims to help business professionals and students from various backgrounds earn Ph.Ds. It is unclear how long the investigations have been ongoing, and the Department of Education is committed to enforcing civil rights laws to eliminate discrimination based on race. The University of Notre Dame has been contacted for comment regarding the investigation.
